THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

Sleep Insufficiency occurs when an adequate

amount of sleep is not being maintained.In order for
human beings to function properly, sufficient sleep each
night is vital. Adults need on average eight hours of sleep
(Okano et al., 2019).Many variables contribute to tiredness
and insufficient sleep, both of which have several
unfavorable effects. In the literature, sleep deprivation is
frequently referred to as either acute sleep deprivation or
chronic partial inadequate sleep.

Sleep is crucial for learning and practice, as well as

physical and mental health, and is an integral aspect of
human health and life. According to studies, receiving too
little sleep, sleeping for shorter periods of time more
frequently, staying up late, and having early wake-up times
all have an impact on a person's ability to learn, perform
well in school, and have healthy neurobehavioral
processes.Previous research has found a link between
poor academic performance in both children and adults
and the amount of sleep reported by people as delayed or
inappropriate sleep, waking up too late, especially on the
weekends, and daytime sleepiness. Studies that focus on
the connection between later class start times and
academic success. Severe tiredness and academic failure
have been linked to decreased nightly sleep or disturbed
sleep habits.

In a research, those who had enough sleep reacted

creatively to challenging mathematics problems twice as
frequently as those who didn't get enough sleep.Students
who didn't get enough sleep had a longer probability than
those who did of failing their classes by one or more
years.Less sleepers who nap throughout the day are more
likely to be involved in traffic and workplace
accidents.Efficiency of sleep has been linked to
recuperation, processing cognitively, and memory
integration in several studies. On the other side, a lack of
sleep has been linked to emotional turbulence and poor
focus.

Focusing on the ABM 11 at CIT COLLEGES students

population, sleep deprivation is extremely prevalent. Being
a Senior High Student in a strand of ABM there is pressures
that consist from school works and school tasks the caused
countless sleepless nights have been experienced due to
deadlines, heaps school works and lack of time. "Pulling an
all-nighter" is a colloquial referrals for acute sleep
deprivation among students, which refers to staying up for
at least 24 hours. Insufficient sleep is more frequently
chronic partial sleep deprivation, in which a student gets
certain individuals, but not enough, sleep.

Students are particularly vulnerable to acquiring

sleep disorders in this area, and when they do, it
negatively affects their academic performance in all grade
levels.There is no agreement in this matter, however, not
all research have found a link between sleep disturbances
and poor academic performance. According to Eliasson
(2010), sleep duration has less of an impact on academic
performance than how long it takes to fall asleep and
wake up. According to Sweileh and colleagues (2011),
there is no connection between the caliber of one's sleep
and academic achievement.It is also asserted that there is
no connection between test results and the night before
the exam.
Proper hour of sleeping is important because
during sleeping your body is actively supporting both the
maintenance of your physical health and a healthy brain.
Sleep supports growth and development in kids and
teenagers. Over time, getting insufficient sleep can
increase your chance of developing chronic (long-term)
health issues. Sleepiness can be a clear result of
insufficient sleep, but it can also be brought on by other
factors, most frequently sleep disorders.
The prevalence of sleepiness and sleep deprivation
among senior high students, the effect of sleep on
memory, the causes of sleep deprivation, potential
negative effects with a focus on those that are particularly
relevant to senior high students, and the interventions
that may seem used to help senior high students sleep
better are all covered in this article.
Subsequently is essential to note that sleepiness is 
frequently situationdependent, with many elements of the 
students' learning environment exacerbating sleepiness. Sl
eepiness is defined as the inability or difficulty in maintaini
ng alertness during the major wake period of the day.

Overall, a person's physiological health can be

significantly impacted by lack of sleep, mental well-being
and mental capacity. Potential interventions are
additionally crucial since they can present a chance to
enhance the educational and health results for these
students. Potential interventions are additionally crucial
since they can present a chance to enhance the
educational and health results for these students.
Therefore, it's crucial to look into how sleepexamine how
sleep deprivation affects the body and research solutions.

Theotrical Framework

Multiple studies demonstrate that sleep has a

significant effect on the brain. Lack of sleep has a
significant impact on how well the brain executes daily
tasks. Individuals require an average of eight hours of
sleep per night, however this is mostly the amount of
sleep required to avoid feeling drowsy throughout the day.
(Thomas, M., et.al, 2000). Negative effects of sleep
deprivation on alertness and cognitive performance
suggest decreases in brain activity and function, primarily
in the thalamus; a structure involved in alertness,
attention, and higher-order cognitive processes (Thomas,
M., et.al, 2000).
The part of the brain that Even though the brain
has been demonstrated to be quite adaptable, sleeping
too little still has some negative impacts. One part of the
brain shuts down, while another gets stressed to
compensate for the reduced function. is overworked is
involved in working memory, planning, attention and
verbal fluency (DeNoon,2000). As a result, this area of the
brain is severely impacted by sleep deprivation and cannot
function as well as it would under normal circumstances.
Due to this lack of sleep, we wake up groggy and unable to
focus. As was already mentioned, it also results in
diminished physical and mental performance as well as a
decreased capacity for mathematical computation. (“Brain
Basics,” 2003).
In an article by Paul Tam entitled "Sleep
deprivation and cognitive function," we learn that during
our waking hours strain is placed on the frontal lobe of the
cerebral 3 cortex, or the thinking part of the brain
responsible for Since the frontal cortex appears to benefit
from sleep, sleep deprivation has a significant negative
influence on this part of the brain, which makes it difficult
for it to function normally.
We wake up drowsy and unable to concentrate as
a result of this lack of sleep. As was already noted, it also
has the effect of lowering one's capacity for mathematical
computation as well as their physical and mental
performance. And with sleep deprivation, this area of the
brain will be the first to deteriorate (1998).
Lack of sleep would be seen as a focused stimulus
in relation to external examples of stimuli. Lack of sleep
can have an immediate impact on how someone reacts to
their surroundings since it can lower their quality of life
and harm their general health. Lack of sleep could be
attributed to contextual factors. Examples of this kind of
stimulation include loud noises, bright environments,
coffee use, and the use of electronic devices.

Additional stressors known as residual stimuli are

brought on by individual circumstances or events.
Understanding Roy's Adaptation Model (RAM) enables
researchers to concentrate on developing treatments for
 sleep deprivation that specifically target the three
categories of environmental cues that affect sleep.
Communication, Working Memory, and Analytical
Reasoning. According to research, people who are sleep
deprived also struggle to find and deliver the proper
words, which hinders their ability to communicate (Tam,
2004). As we can see, the amount of sleep we get each
night has a significant impact on the brain. In order to shut
down and repair, the neurons that are used while we are
awake during sleep ("Brain Basics," 2003). These side
effects of insufficient sleep are all critical for not just
survival but also the success of the learning process. It is
essential to have healthy cognitive abilities, like memory,
attention, concentration, and alertness, to name a few, in
order to benefit fully

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to identify the implications of

Insufficient Sleep that may affect the academic
performance of ABM 11 students at CIT COLLEGES, it
sought to answer the following questions:

1. What is the common implication that students experience

when they have insufficiencies of sleep?

2. What are the techniques you do to avoid sleep

insufficiencies?

3. What are the common causes of insufficiencies of sleep?

 Hypothesis

1. For the students, lack of sleep may result them a weakened immune
system, which the consequences could be the inability to do their
academic performance.
2. For the students, insufficient will decrease the chance of productivity,
resulting in less works being done on the given due date.
3. For the students, it is more difficult to focus and respond quickly when
you are sleep deprived, because you are unable to build or maintain the
neural pathways in your brain that allow you to learn and make new
memories.
4. For the students, having Deficient sleep may cause the brain to function
abnormally rather than it functioning properly.
5. For the students, having sleep deprivation can also contribute to their
emotional issues and behavior problems that may affect their academic
achievement.
6. For the finalist, if they get lack of sleep, then it might affect their brain
and it might steal away their focus on their academic performance.

Scope and Delimitation

The purpose of this study is to determine the

implication of sleep insufficiency that can cause to their
performance in academic among the GRADE 11 students
in CIT Colleges. They going to conduct a survey or
questionnaire to determine the common implication of
sleep insufficiency in GRADE 11 ABM students in
CITCOLLEGES on May 2023.

This study has connection with the ABM 11

students in CIT Colleges. This study help to figure out the
effect of sleep insufficiency among the ABM 11 students at
CITC. There are 15 female and 21 male in ABM 11 strand
total of 36 students base on S.Y 2022-2023 and they are
respondents in this research.

Conceptual Framework

PERCEPTION OF INUSIFFICIENT SLEEP

An inadequate amount or quality of sleep,

including deliberate or involuntary sleeplessness and
circadian rhythm sleep disorders, is referred to as sleep
deprivation. The human body needs sleep just as much as
it needs food and drink, yet many people don't get enough
of it. For us a student there is a lot of disadvantages such
as memory lost, lack of focus and also it increases our
stress level.
Significance of the Study

The main goal of this study is to determine the

effective way to prevent insufficient sleep for those
students among ABM 11 at CIT Colleges

The Research will significant to the following:

The Students who are the main focus in this

research will benefit in this research. They will be aware
about the bad effects and what are the possible impactof
insufficient sleep.

The Parent will also benefit in this research

because they will also informed and gather information
from what will the possible effects can happen as a result.

The Teacher will benefit in this research. They will

alarmed and they can possibly spread some awareness
and knowledge in how to prevent the insufficient sleep
specially to their students.

The Future Researchers will have benefit in this

research. They will have a prior knowledge and Specific
Information, If they plan to continuethey can read this
research and can start their research about Insufficient
Sleep.
